Engineered specifically for McLaren's 3.8L twin-turbocharged M838T V8 engine, these high-performance downpipes replace the four restrictive factory catalytic converters with straight-through stainless-steel piping for improved turbocharger response, increased horsepower, and a dramatically louder exhaust note.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBy eliminating the factory catalytic converters, the Fabspeed Competition Link Pipes significantly reduce exhaust restriction immediately downstream of the turbochargers.
